Deciding to Withdraw
During the Autumn Term we reviewed 93 qualifications, and all those approved to deliver/delivering these qualifications were informed and invited to complete a survey or attend a panel/feedback. From this work 17 qualifications were noted to have little or no registrations, over a period of 3 years. This means, under Ofqual’s General Conditions of Regulations, and after feedback, we are withdrawing these qualifications on 31 August 2021.
